Another MIB

Sony has just hired writer Oren Uziel to write a fourth, yes FOURTH, Men In Black. How many are they going to do? Uziel has also signed on to write the sequel to 21 Jump Street, the Jonah Hill comedy that made huge waves last year. As far as Men IN Black is concerned, no deals have been yet as for as bringing back Will Smith or Tommy Lee Jones as their famously slick characters (though I wont be surprised if they do), or Josh Brolin and Emma Thompson for that matter. The movies will cost a fortune to make though because of all the big names, including Director Barry Sonnenfeld and Executive Producer Steven Spielberg.



 21 Jump Street 2 is already slated to release for June 6, 2014 and is bringing back Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, along with Phil Lord and Chris Miller as directors. The movie is expected to see the two doofus cops on  a college campus setting, right where the last one left you off.

Spielberg's Lincoln




For many years as I can remember I have always been a fan of Steven Spielberg's films including Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, E.T, Indiana Jones, Artificial Intelligence, The Goonies, and many other great films. He has been a great inspiration to me as well as many other people. He has directed, and produced some of the greatest American films that most people watch today.

His newest movie "Lincoln" stars three Academy Award winners including Daniel-Day Lewis as Abraham Lincoln, Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, and Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens.

One reason this movie was attractive to me was because it's about Abe Lincoln, one of America's most influential presidents and surely one of my favorites. I remember as a kid in high school loving to learn about Lincoln in the Civil War and what he did to abolish slavery. This movie takes place some time near the end of the Civil War which is sometime in 1865. As the movie progresses it explores Lincoln's tactics and techniques as he works with his cabinet attempts to abolish slavery.

I also chose to post about this movie because it is another movie that is based on a true story, movies I tend to watch more than others. Like I mentioned earlier, in school, i loved learning about wars, presidents, and other moments in history. One of my favorite topics was the Civil War and how our country worked to abolish slavery in the south.

From the love of this historical moment, I am interested to learn more from this film and see it on the big screen.
